Introduction BBP Regeneration and Hardisty Jones have been jointly commissioned by the six Local Authorities within the Coventry and Warwickshire Housing Market Area (comprising Coventry City Council, North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, Rugby Borough Council, Stratford-upon-Avon District Council and Warwick District Council), along with Warwickshire County Council and the Coventry & Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership, to undertake an analysis and assessment of the market for employment land within the Coventry and Warwickshire sub-region. The purpose of this high-level study is to assess the current and likely future demands of business for employment land and accommodation across the sub-region and understand how the current and anticipated future supply of employment land meets the needs of the market in terms of quality, type, specification, size and affordability as well as how general changes in the market for employment uses are impacting on property requirements in Coventry and Warwickshire. This study provides an understanding of the sub-regional employment market, from a market perspective. Its findings will be used to both inform future discussions on potential public sector interventions and as part of the evidence to inform plan and policy-making to assist with the delivery of adopted and emerging plans as well as assist with the determination of planning applications. It will also feed into a full quantitative and qualitative assessment of employment land requirements to be undertaken under a separate commission once all the current round of local plans for the sub-region are in place. In the shorter term, the study identifies potential interventions for more immediate consideration and action. The following diagram shows the adopted approach to the research, analysis and consultations underpinning this piece of work and the key questions that we are aiming to answer as part of the study.

  • Summary of Grant-Funded Activity 2015-2018
    Summary of grant-funded activity 2015-2018 Summary of grant-funded activity 2015-20171 Skills for Employment In 2015, Warwickshire County Council introduced a £2.4 million ‘Skills for Employment’ programme to run until 2018. The main objectives of the programme are to: Align skills provision more effectively with the needs of local businesses. Increase and strengthen engagement between businesses and education providers in Warwickshire. Improve advice and information for young people, parents, education and business about the local labour market, career and employment opportunities, and the range of options open to young people. Improve the ‘journey’ of young people moving from education to work and those not in work by ensuring support is as joined-up and effective as possible. Measures of success include reducing the number of young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET), and increasing the number of school and college leavers recruited by business. By the end of 2017, grants worth more than £1.5 million were awarded to Warwickshire secondary and special schools, colleges and several businesses working with an education partner. By July 2017, 20,000 activities had been funded and that figure is forecast to rise to 30,000 by July 2018. By the end of 2017, around 600 businesses had engaged in this funded activity with our schools and colleges. 2 Summary of grant-funded activity 2015-2018 There were four types of grant: 1) Match-funded grants worth up to £3,000. 2) Major grants worth between £20,000 and £40,000. 3) Build A Business Network grants worth up to £3,000 introduced in autumn 2016 for schools to establish a new group of at least 10 businesses to work with.
